“Each effect in the PX-1 delivers the genuine sound and response of the pedalit’sbased on”: A compact series stompbox you can turn into any one of 16 classic Boss effects? Meet the Plugout FX

Boss PX-1 Plugout FX: the white compact series pedal has blue knobs, digital display, and is a platform for 16 digitally modelled Boss effects, one of which is available at a time.

Boss has just unveiled a guitar effects pedal that assumes the familiar form of its compact series units, and yet can do the job of any one of 16 of the pedal giant’s most popular effects.

The PX-1 Plugout FX is in a sense a multi-effects pedal, only – like the Line 6 HX One – it allows you to use one effect at a time. Here, Boss presents us with 16 models in total, and eight effects always-installed, plus a further eight user-definable presets.
